Claremont Middle School Reviews

I made a phone call as a grandparent for my grandsons to enroll and I got a lady on labor day answering the phone that really was nice and informative. I found this school has so many school programs for the kids and free AFTER school with tutoring. I also found out the school is not overloaded with kids and the programs were great. I highly recommend that you consider this school for your kids if they deserve the one on one attention and education. It was the music teacher there at school who just answered the phone. Now thats SERVICE especially when the school should be closed for labor day.
